1335 nm great-circle between CPH and LIS, On request typical block time.
“Copenhagen → Lisbon prices off aircraft positioning on a On request sector — clients who can shift the window see the difference; clients who negotiate rarely do.”

ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · AIRCRAFT RECOMMENDATION ENGINE
BEST VALUE
Midsize
The Cessna Citation VII clears both runways and has range headroom on the 1,335 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €12,800
FASTEST
Heavy
On 1,335 nm the Dassault Falcon 50EX carries the highest cruise speed in the eligible short-list. The saving is roughly 18 minutes of block time against the smallest eligible class — worth it on a same-day return, marginal otherwise.
Indicative all-in €25,200

On Copenhagen → Lisbon, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Copenhagen before pickup — the shorter that leg, the more competitive the quote.
If the aircraft can't pick up a return charter from Lisbon, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on CPH–LIS are set field by field — CPH and LIS each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 1,335 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on CPH–LIS, not the driver of the quote.
Copenhagen → Lisbon demand cycles pull the 1,335 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at LIS constrains the lift available for 1,335 nm inbounds from Copenhagen — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices CPH–LIS beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 1,335 nm.
Slot coordination at LIS — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Copenhagen departures and raises handling on CPH–LIS.
At 1,335 nm, CPH–LIS sits far inside a single crew duty period — no augmented crew cost.
Overnight parking at LIS is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the CPH–LIS quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Copenhagen → Lisbon
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Copenhagen-area field, using it reduces positioning cost and often trims 5–15% off the quote.
Alternative arrivals near LIS can trim handling and slot pressure on CPH–LIS — see the airport comparison above.
CPH ↔ LIS (1,335 nm) is a corridor we monitor for empty legs — set an alert and match one when your dates flex.
Departing 2–4 hours off the peak slot window at CPH drops handling and slot fees on the 1,335 nm run to LIS.
1,335 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on CPH–LIS cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

Nonstop feasibility
Well within super-midsize range — comfortably nonstop on this corridor.
Typical flight level
FL370–FL430 across 1,335 nm on CPH–LIS
Typical routing
Direct CPH–LIS routing, 1,335 nm great-circle with negligible airway detour.
Runway
the shorter runway on this pair clears heavy metal unrestricted.
Fuel stop likelihood
No fuel stop on 1,335 nm; CPH–LIS is a single-sector mission for every class we quote.
Cabin service
Light catering only — 1,335 nm block time leaves no window for a galley service.
Best departure time
Mid-morning (10:00–12:00) departure from CPH clears the weekday slot peak and lands LIS before midday handling pressure.

Full-charter one-way, desk quote
€11,200 – €25,800
Midsize through Heavy over 1,335 nm CPH–LIS, all-in of landing, handling, crew and fuel surcharge. Weekend and peak-season departures out of CPH sit at the upper end.
Price stand: August 2026. CPH–LIS quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.
CPH–LIS supply — workable
CPH — 16 archived movements (10 out / 6 in) from 6 operators. LIS — 36 archived movements (13 out / 23 in) from 5 operators. The thinner end sets the price on CPH–LIS: 24–48h notice materially improves the quote.
Positioning into Copenhagen (CPH)
When the based fleet is committed, the next CPH–LIS lift comes from EKCH (0 nm, 2 aircraft), EKRK (18 nm, 6 aircraft), ESMS (25 nm, 1 aircraft). Those ferries add roughly 20–45 minutes of billed time, which is why identical requests can quote differently on the same day.
Positioning into Lisbon (LIS)
When the based fleet is committed, the next CPH–LIS lift comes from LEST (249 nm, 2 aircraft). Those ferries add roughly 20–45 minutes of billed time, which is why identical requests can quote differently on the same day.
Lisbon (LIS)
Charter movement in our archive concentrates in November and July (58% of 36 recorded legs), and falls away in August and September. For CPH–LIS that means booking the peak weeks 2–3 weeks out: the based fleet sells out first, then ferried lift, then nothing, while August is where negotiation actually works.
Phenom 100 / Citation M2 and comparable light jets
At 1,335 nm this sector is beyond a comfortable light-jet leg with full seats and bags — you buy a fuel stop, and a stop costs more than the class saves. It is also the class where golf bags and ski gear stop fitting.
Global 7500 / Gulfstream G650 on a short sector
Over 1,335 nm an ultra-long-range cabin bills roughly €8,100/hour for a flight measured in single-digit hours, and rarely repositions economically to this pair. You pay ULR money for a cabin you cannot use.
Empty Legs
Repositioning legs departing CPH within 14 days, priced per aircraft for up to 19 seats.
